Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN Brute Force Vulnerability
A researcher has discovered a security hole in WPS technology that affects millions of Wi-Fi routers around the world.
A few weeks ago I decided to take a look at the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) technology. I noticed a few really bad design decisions which enable an efficient brute force attack, thus effectively breaking the security of pretty much all WPS-enabled Wi-Fi routers. As all of the more recent router models come with WPS enabled by default, this affects millions of devices worldwide.

NZXT HALE82 850W Power Supply
In need of a solid power supply with good voltage regulation and excellent DC output quality? If you said "yes" I highly recommend reading our evaluation of the NZXT HALE82 850W PSU.
NZXT comes to us touting its HALE82 PSU telling us it has high working efficiencies, 100% Japanese caps, a modular design, and "Keeping it Safe" over voltage and short circuit protections. And considering this is a unit built by Seasonic, it might just be one that is worth looking at. Is it anything special though?

Kinect Weighs Astronauts Just By Looking At Them
The Kinect can calculate an astronaut's weight in zero gravity just by looking at them. Just imagine what this means for all us couch potatoes that use the Kinect to select movies on Netflix?
ASTRONAUTS will soon be able to stay fit thanks to a body tracking camera system built into Microsoft's Kinect gaming sensor, which helps calculate their weight in zero gravity. Even during missions that last just a few weeks spacefarers can lose up to 15 per cent of their body mass because their muscles atrophy due to lack of use. To prevent this physical decline, crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS) typically spend 2 hours exercising per day.

Homeland Security spies on Facebook and Twitter users, recording the activity of people who search for terms like "human to animal," "collapse" and "infection," according to an online privacy advocacy group that has sued to peruse the agency's data. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) says Homeland Security announced plans to monitor social media sites in February."
